    "supporting_data": "The product is a Collateralised Exchange Traded Security (ETP) designed to provide -3x the daily return of the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF, indicating triple leverage and inverse exposure. The replication method is physical, with full ownership of the underlying ETF shares and collateral assets held in a margin account, and no use of swaps or derivative instruments as part of the investment strategy. The product explicitly states it is not UCITS compliant. The leverage factor of -3x and inverse exposure are key complexity drivers. The product involves daily rebalancing and compounding effects, which can cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate significantly from the expected multiple of the underlying ETF's performance. The risk indicator is at the highest level 7/7, reflecting very high risk and complexity. The KIID and factsheet warn that the product is intended only for sophisticated investors who understand leverage, daily rebalancing, and compounding risks, and that holding the product beyond one day can lead to unexpected returns due to compounding. There is no capital protection, and investors can lose all their investment but not more. No swaps or derivative instruments are used inherently in the strategy, but the leverage and inverse exposure alone classify the product as complex under MiFID II. The product also carries a comprehension warning and is described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand.' The costs are straightforward with no performance fees or swap fees. The complexity arises primarily from the leverage, inverse exposure, and the daily compounding mechanism, which significantly increases the risk and complexity of the product for retail investors."
